Sinbad is one of the funniest and most versatile talents in the world of comedy. This A Different World alumni and Redd Foxx protégé has starred in numerous films including First Kid, House Guest with Arnold Schwarzenegge... more &raquor, and The Cherokee Kid with James Coburn & Gregory Hines. Now, Sinbad gives us a blast from the past with his critically acclaimed HBO comedy special Afros & Bellbottoms. Afros & Bellbottoms is a self-styled monologue on the "good ?ol days" when dashikis, afros, bellbottoms, platform shoes and collars wide enough to take hang gliding were the hit! To see Sinbad perform is to experience comic genius at its highest level. You will laugh out loud as Sinbad takes you on an "old school" ride as only he can.&laquo less

Sinbad and his brand of humor prove you can have talent without vulgarity. I laughed throughout the entire show.

HILARIOUS

"I rented this one sometime ago to "introduce" his comedy routine to my teenage kids (I had seen this one before along with one HBO special he did in Denver -- oh my goodness that was a hoot too -- unfortunately, I can't find it though!!). At first, they didn't think they'd enjoy it. After the first 10 mins., my kids were rolling on the floor. Even though they're not 70s kids, they found Sinbad's wild recitations and expressions hilarious. We've seen our copy over and over again -- it never gets old!! All my 15-year-old son has to do to get me to laugh is to do Sinbad's impression of the stair-master ... I won't give it away, but it gets us going every time!! His comedy is good, clean fun!! Too much violence and curse words in our kids' lives everywhere they turn. We need more Sinbad in this world!!"

"I own the original VHS tape. This DVD was edited, and alot of key parts were missing. I would not have bought this DVD, if I knew portions had been cut out."

Disappointed

"This was not the entire version of the HBO Special. I was disappointed because some of my favorite parts were missing from this DVD. If I had known it wasn't the entire show I wouldn't have bought it."

You WILL fall out of your chair.

"My wife and I first saw 'Afros and Bellbottoms' a few years ago and we laughed so hard we could hardly breathe. If you are smart enough to purchase this DVD, do keep something soft by your chair, because you will most certainly fall onto the floor.Sinbad's stories of his childhood in the 70's and 80's will especially entertain those who also grew up in those years, but his style of comedy will ultimately entertain everyone who watches. I particularly love how he is able to make fun of himself while making fun of others. Absolutely everyone should purchase this DVD and noone will be disappointed. This DVD will come to be one that you quote on a daily basis just as my wife and I do."

Satisfied, but not quite as satified.

"I had an original HBO VHS of this stand up and it was awesome, but I lost it somehow so I wanted to buy another one. The only complaint I have is the fact that this DVD is edited. Certain subjects that Sinbad talked about in the original copy he doesn't even bring up in this one. I checked to see if maybe it was another city or another night of his stand up, but it was all the same people from the original one. So I guess I am about 90% satisfied with this purchase. Great quality though, I will buy from Amazon again."
